Kotor Kitties volunteers focus passionately on solving the overpopulation problems that cause so much suffering and death for community cats in Montenegro through high-volume spay-neuter surgeries.
Montenegro is a tiny Balkan country, very poor and under-resourced for animals care. We provide free spay-neuter surgeries, contracting with local vets at deeply discounted prices.
High-volume spay and neuter is the most cost-effective way to help the most cats in an area. The individual animals benefit from improved health (and, in Montenegro, adoptability) while the overall population starts to come down once high enough levels of sterilization are reached.
We provide a limited amount of other medical care for cats along with the surgery--things like tail and leg amputations, removal of damaged eyes, hernia repair and dental extractions that greatly effect the cat's enjoyment of life at a relatively small cost.
Kotor Kitties is NOT a rescue; we have no shelter. Those are not cost-effective ways to help, nor do we (or the country) have the capacity to handle the volume of friendly, adoptable animal who live on the streets. We gladly provide information on best practices to individuals or groups who want to run their own rescues, or adopt an animal they've connected with.
Kotor Kitties is run entirely by volunteers, and we welcome anyone with skills who want to either work remotely or help during a visit to Montenegro.

April King 1I gave because I care passionately about preventing the suffering and deaths that come with overpopulation of cats and dogs. Spay-neuter is the most humane and cost-effective way to help!
